The healing properties of cayene : CAYENNE:
Capsicum annuum

Solanaceae

A farmer used to give Cayenne to his chickens and cows when they were
ailing, but never to the children when they were sick. One of the sons said,
"We were worth more to him than those animals! He should have given it to
us, too." Dr. Christopher assured us that Cayenne is one of the greatest
herbs of all time-though it is also one of the most misunderstood and
ridiculed. He said that every home should have a good supply of Cayenne
pepper.

When only a young man in his thirties, Dr. Christopher was told by the
medical doctors that he could not live past his fortieth year because of
arthritis, hardening of arteries, stomach ulcers, and some automobile
accidents that had damaged him rather badly. He was so concerned that he
started using Cayenne, working up to a teaspoon taken three times a day. By
the time he was forty-five years old, he was working in a business wherein
the group wanted him to have a $100,000 insurance policy because of the
importance of the business deal.

Because it was such a large policy, the company required the examination to
be given by two medical doctors, each to examine twice. At the end of one of
these physicals, one of the doctors said, "This is astounding! You have the
venous structure of a teenage boy, at forty-five years of age !"

The other doctor kept pumping up his blood pressure equipment over and over
again, repeating the blood pressure check. Dr. Christopher began to be
perturbed, and asked him if the equipment was broken. "It always has worked
up till now, but I keep looking at your chart, which says you are forty-five
years old, and yet your systolic over your diastolic is absolutely perfect.
I cannot comprehend it." Dr. Christopher assured him that it was indeed
perfect, and he attributed this clean bill of health to Cayenne.

However, Dr. Christopher needed to be converted to the use of Cayenne. When
he was attending the Herbal College in Canada, the teacher announced that
they were going to study Cayenne. "Why Cayenne?" asked Dr. Christopher. "It
will burn the lining out of the stomach."

"Where did you get your information," asked the teacher, Dr. Nowell. "Oh, my
mother told me," answered Dr. Christopher.

Everybody in the class laughed-except the teacher and Dr. Christopher. Dr.
Nowell took Dr. Christopher around Vancouver and introduced him to over a
dozen people whose lives had been saved with Cayenne: people with heart
troubles, ulcers, asthma, and many other ailments. Wherever they went, the
people were full of gratitude for being taught about Cayenne, and from then
on Dr. Christopher was sold on it.

While Dr. Christopher was working in the business world, he was taking
Cayenne, and on one business trip, he was traveling with an athlete, a man
who had a black belt in karate and who was, in Dr. Christopher's words, "a
husky little guy." Yet he came from a family with a history of high blood
pressure, and his uncle had died of varicosity. He was under the care of a
doctor at the time. Every morning, Dr. Christopher would take a spoonful of
Cayenne in a glassful of water, followed by a few tablespoons of wheat germ
oil. The young man wanted to know what Dr. Christopher was taking and wanted
to try some. "You're probably too chicken," Dr. Christopher told him! This
reverse psychology worked; Dr. Christopher noticed that his Cayenne was
disappearing gradually. When they returned from the trip, the man continued
taking Cayenne, one teaspoonful three times a day. The doctor was astonished
at the young man's next checkup - after a lifetime of high blood pressure,
he now had a clean bill of health.

Once a child was shot in the abdomen; a bullet hit the spine, ricocheted,
and made a second wound leaving the body. One of Dr. Christopher's herbal
students, living next door, heard the shot and raced over, as she knew that
the parents were not home and that the children, ages eight and four, would
not be shooting guns. There was the eight-year-old gushing blood out both
sides. She ran to the cabinet and mixed a tablespoonful of cayenne in a
glass of water; she poured it down the boy and immediately called the
ambulance, which was eighteen miles away. The emergency room attendant said
that the boy would probably bleed to death, being that the distance was so
great. The ambulance arrived and rushed the child (who had been playing
"Cops and Robbers" with his fathers pistol, which he had found Under the
pillow of the bed, to the Primary Children's Hospital eighteen miles away.
When he arrived, he was the center of attraction, not because his case was
so dangerous, but because he was chatting a mile a minute - and there was
not bleeding. The bleeding had stopped by the time they arrived at the
hospital. The chief doctor said to the parents, "I have seen many accident
victims in my life, but this is the first time in such an emergency
operation that I have opened an abdomen to find no blood, except for a small
amount that was there before the bleeding stopped so quickly. This has saved
your boy's life."

In that same year, Dr. Christopher treated four other gunshot victims, and
each ease responded the same, although sometimes the blood coagulates and
comes out in clumps before it stops completely. By the time you count to
ten, however, the heavy bleeding should stop completely after administering
Cayenne. The Doctor even used tincture of Cayenne on open wounds and, as he
put it, "There may be a bit of muttering about it," referring to the burning
feeling of the Cayenne, but the bleeding stops.

Dr. Christopher related the humorous story of a very fine student of his who
had begun teaching herb classes on his own. This young man happened to
precede Dr. Christopher's lecture one evening in Arizona. The young man
said, "You know, ladies and gentlemen, that Dr. Christopher has always made
me gasp. I've seen him drink two or three tablespoons of Cayenne in water -
and I'd just shudder. But tonight I'm going to do something that he may have
never done himself." With that, he reached down into a container of Cayenne
and threw a pinch right into his eye. Dr. Christopher thought that the man
must have gone crazy and he was concerned that one of his students would do
such a thing in public, although he knew that Cayenne can never hurt the
cell structure, no matter how delicate it is. The tears ran down the man's
cheek as he continued talking, and when he was finished, he opened his eye
and invited everyone to look. The eye just sparkled; it was by far the
brighter of the two, although Dr. Christopher said that he never had seen
this antic performed again - and that he never dared to try it himself.

A lady who had been attending Dr. Christopher's lectures over the years told
the story of her husband who had a severe ease of stomach ulcers. The doctor
recommended that part of the stomach be removed, but the man preferred to
suffer the pain rather than risk such an operation. But he also ridiculed
his wife's recommendations to use Cayenne and other herbs. Whenever he would
see Dr. Christopher in town, he'd bellow, "Hello, Doe! Killed anybody with
Cayenne today?" Naturally, Dr. Christopher tried to avoid him, but one day
he came directly to the Doctor-but this time without any sarcasm, instead
being very apologetic, telling this story.

He had come home from work one night, so sick he wanted to die, with stomach
ulcers. His wife was not home, but he was in such pain that he decided to
commit suicide. When he looked into the medicine cabinet to find some kind
of medicine poisonous enough to kill him, he discovered that his wife had
discarded all the old bottles of pharmaceutical medicines. All he could find
were some bottles of herbs and a large container of Cayenne pepper. He
figured that a large dose of that would kill him, so he took a heaping
tablespoon in a glass of hot water, gulped it down, rushed into the bedroom,
and covered his head with a pillow so that the neighbors couldn't hear his
dying screams.

The next thing he knew, his wife was shaking him awake the next morning. He
had slept all night, the first time in years, instead of waking every half
hour or so for anti-acid tablets. To his amazement, all his pain was gone.
He continued using the Cayenne faithfully, three times a day, and never had
any more trouble with ulcers.

Once, when traveling with a business partner, Dr. Christopher recommended
Cayenne to him, as the man had extremely high blood pressure and such bad
hemorrhoids that he had to wear a belt. Dr. Christopher used the same
reverse psychology on this man - "I don't think you are brave enough"-and
pretty soon the man was taking the Cayenne and the wheat germ oil, too. In a
few months, he did not have to wear a belt any longer, and his systolic and
diastolic at his blood pressure examination were nearly perfect. He no
longer had to go to the doctor-and he lived many long years, for he kept
taking his Cayenne.

Early in Dr. Christopher's practice, he was called in the middle of the
night by a woman whose husband had just passed out from a heart attack. The
Doctor told the woman to heat some water, and he arrived at the house and
mixed a teaspoon of Cayenne into the water, propped up the man, and gave him
just a little. When he came to, he finished the cup, and within a few
minutes felt much stronger. Soon he was well, and became converted to the
use of herbs, even buying and running one of the health food stores in Salt
Lake City for many years.

One young man had cut his hand deeply, fingers as well as the palm. The
blood spurted out in streams. He poured a large amount of Cayenne into the
wound, and within seconds the blood flow slowed down, congealed, and
stopped. He wrapped the wound, covering it first with a goodly amount of
Cayenne. He was so excited about these results that he could hardly wait to
attend the next herb lecture to tell about it. But when he unwrapped the
bandage to show the audience, instead of a deep, ugly scar, the area was
healed and there was no scar at all!

Cayenne can be used on any part of the body and for anybody, Dr. Christopher
claimed. He even saved the life of a six-week-old baby who was born with
chronic asthma by giving Cayenne tea, from an eyedropper, until the baby was
able to breathe again. He said that Cayenne could even be given by enema for
chronic constipation (if you are brave!).

At the age of seventy, a few years before he died, Dr. Christopher was asked
by a premed student if he could take his blood pressure. The lecture group
saw the blood pressure reading of a healthy young man, not the average
reading of a seventy-year-old. In addition to a healthy life-style and the
mucusless diet, Dr. Christopher attributed this good reading to his
thrice-daily dose of Cayenne.

To show what a miracle worker Cayenne really is, Dr. Christopher related the
experiment performed by medical doctors in the eastern United States-and
printed in the medical journals. They put some live heart tissue in a beaker
filled with distilled water, and fed it nothing but Cayenne pepper, cleaning
off sediments periodically and adding nothing else but distilled water to
replace that which was lost from evaporation. During the experiment, they
would have to trim the tissue every few days, because it would grow so
rapidly! Having no control glands (pituitary and pineal), the tissue just
continued to grow rapidly. They kept this tissue alive for fifteen years.
After the doctor doing the experiment died, his associates kept it alive for
two more years before destroying it for analysis This shows the tremendous
regenerative and healing power of Cayenne, especially upon the heart.
